Free Farm Transition Workshop Planned for McDowell County

(Updated: Sept. 3, 2024, 6:42 a.m.)

On October 1st, 2024, at 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM, N.C. Cooperative Extension, McDowell County Center and McDowell Technical Community College are sponsoring a free farm transition and legacy planning workshop.


Transitions are often vulnerable times for farms and failing to plan for farm transitions can leave farms at risk of forced sales due to family conflict or nursing home recovery costs. Join us for a transition and legacy planning workshop to learn more about common challenges that farmers and landowners face when transitioning the farm to the next generation — and strategies to overcome these.


The workshop will cover topics, like estate planning and retirement planning, and will provide resources that farmers and landowners can use to help navigate farm transitions.


Space is limited; please register in advance here
